Chapter 801 Guan Ji is in command(2/2)
Xiaoguan is not a single pass. It relies on the Great Wall to the north and then transforms the entire canyon into a complete military defense system.
It was autumn at this time, when the grass in the northern grasslands should be yellow and the horses are fat. Unfortunately, the Great Wall stretching across the north blocked Feng Yong's view.
Looking south, all the mountains are in sight.
The yellow leaves swirled and floated to the ground, covering them with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
Mountain fruits that cannot be named are just hanging on the branches, yellow, red, and even purple...
I reached out and pinched a bunch of small yellow fruits, put one in my mouth and chewed it. It was a little sour and had an indescribable numbness.
"Ah, why is Alang eating all these things?"
Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's mouth moving, and then saw him holding the fruit high, raising his head and opening his mouth, ready to eat again, and immediately reached out to slap it!
The whole bunch of small fruits scattered into the air, and then fell into the grass, thorns, and under the trees...
Feng Yong opened his mouth to the sky and looked at an empty fruit branch in his hand. Only a mung bean-sized fruit was left hanging around. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Guan Ji was heard saying in her ear: "Most things in the mountains are poisonous..."
"Tsk!" Feng Junhou glared at Guan Ji angrily, "This fruit is edible. I ate it when I was a kid when I went up the mountain to sweep graves."
"Sweeping graves?" Guan Ji seemed to have learned some extraordinary information and asked curiously, "Alang also went up the mountain to sweep graves when he was a child?"
"Is it possible that Alang still has ancestors buried in the mountains? Why haven't you brought my concubine to worship them all these years?"
I knew that this woman was trying to forcefully change the subject, but she happened to catch the slip of her tongue.
Feng Yong could only say vaguely: "If we are not in Shu, you can't go."
"Oh," Guan Ji nodded, "It seems that she is in Alang's school."
She consciously did not delve into it further.
On the other hand, Zhao Guang, who was next to him, saw Feng Yong bending down to pinch the small red fruit in the thorn bush again, and he couldn't help but remind him:
"Brother, didn't we say we came out this time to see the terrain?"
"What's so interesting about this terrain? Do Cao thieves still dare to attack Xiaoguan at this time?"
Feng Yong carefully picked out the small red fruit, wiped off the small fuzz on the surface, and then put it in his mouth.
Well, it's sour and sweet, much more delicious than the small yellow fruit just now.
"Actually, I'm just looking for an excuse to go out and relax," he said, bending down to pull something. "Otherwise, I'd be bored in the army all day long!"
When he stood up again, there were a few more small red fruits in his hand, "Xijun, do you want to eat them?"
Guan Ji wanted to refuse, but when she saw the serious look on his face as he carefully blew off the fluff, she immediately changed her mind.
Feng Yong looked at his expression and knew what he meant: "Come on, open your mouth."
Guan Ji glanced at Zhao Guang next to her, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Take people to explore the road ahead!"
Feng Yong glared at Zhao Guang without even blinking!
"oh."
Zhao Guang climbed up in dismay.
With no one around, Feng Yong fed the small red fruit into Guan Ji's mouth: "Is it delicious?"
Although it has a little astringent taste, the sweet and sour taste suits Guan Ji very well: "Hey, this tastes pretty good. It seems to be really edible."
Seeing a few red and purple fruits in the innermost part of the thorn bush, Guan Ji pulled out the knife with a clang.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The mountain thorn bush that Feng Junhou was still trying to protect Xiaohongguo from just now, preventing Feng Junhou from reaching in, was suddenly cleared by the Guan family's sword skills.
Guan Ji happily reached out and picked the ripest fruits.
"Alang, do you want to eat?"
Guan Ji put one in her mouth and at the same time stretched out her hand and handed it to Feng Yong.
"Don't eat it!"
Feng Yong glanced at the thorn bushes that had been cut into pieces, his eyes twitched, and he turned around and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.
Violence, really too violent!
This mother-in-law doesn’t understand the joy of going up the mountain to pick wild fruits when we were children!
When I looked up, I saw Zhao Guang turning back: "Brother, the top of the mountain is ahead."
"Let's go up and rest for a while."
Guan Ji walked at the end with the knife in hand, still looking around, as if she hadn't had enough.
"Brother, when will we send out troops?"
"It's almost time. When the news spreads throughout Anding and Cao Cao starts to mobilize his troops, it will be a good time for us to send troops."
Feng Yong replied while climbing the mountain, "If Xiahou Ba is really capable of attacking Yuezhi City at night, he should be able to respond within a day or two."
When he heard the name "Xiahou Ba", Zhao Guang gritted his teeth:
"In this battle, I will make that Xiahou Ba regret his sneak attack on Yuezhi City!"
When Feng Yong heard this, he laughed:
"Xia Houyuan died at the hands of General Huang, and now you have married General Huang's daughter. He made you lose your title as a general, and now you want revenge."
"I even wonder if the two of you are born to be enemies."
Guan Ji, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but be a little confused when she heard her Alang mention this Xiahou Ba again and again:
"The Hu family in Linjing can be regarded as a county commander. Now that Hu Zun is the prefect of Anding County, I'm afraid that the Hu family will do its best to protect Anding County."
"Concubine Alang does not respect Hu Zun, but respects Xiahou Ba, who is not famous. Why is this?"
Feng Yong walked up and said in a calm tone:
"The Hu family can be considered a wealthy family in Guanzhong, but compared with the Guandong family, they are only second or third-rate, and almost the same as the Shuzhong family."
"Have the Xinghan Society not had much contact with Shuzhong's aristocratic families over the years?"
Even the Li family, one of the best in Sichuan, had their clan dismembered and even their direct daughters became their concubines. What was there to be afraid of?
"Although Xiahou Ba is not well-known, what kind of reputation does Hu Zun have? It is just because he took the name of the Hu family in Linjing that he was appointed as the prefect of Anding County."
"In my opinion, Cao Zhen put these two people in Anding, obviously with Hu Zun as the prefect, but in fact, I am afraid that Xiahou Ba is the real person in charge."
Finally climbing to the top of the mountain, Feng Yong sat down on the rock.
"Although Yuezhi City is not big, and the only people Yang Tiao had at hand at that time were clan soldiers, it was natural for Xiahou Ba to lead his elite troops to attack and defeat it."
"But what I saw was his way of attacking the city wrapped in wool on a snowy night. This was something no one had done before. It can be seen from this that this man was not only courageous, but also thoughtful in his use of troops."
A few people were talking at the top of the mountain when they suddenly saw a person from the Dark Night Battalion in charge of security leading them up the mountain.
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the bandit army led by Hu Zun has been staying in Linjing and has never left even half a step."
After seeing the ceremony, the visitor reported the activities of Hu Zun, the governor of Anding, in the past few days.
When Feng Yong heard this, he laughed: "If I don't move, the enemy won't move. It seems that Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun have figured out that I am planning to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
He stood up and beat his legs, "It seems that we can't rest anymore. Let's go back to Guancheng!"
When the group returned to Xiaoguan, Feng Yong immediately summoned all military generals to hold a military meeting.
"From now on, Modao camp, Wudang camp, and engineering camp are all under the command of General Guan. I will give General Guan a commanding sword. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed!"
Feng Yong held the handsome sword and handed it to Guan Ji with his own hands.
Zhang Ni, Jufu, Wenshi and others all clasped their fists and saluted: "Nuo!"
The next day, drums were beating loudly in the canyon where Xiaoguan was located, and people were screaming and horses neighing. Feng Yong led more than 10,000 cavalry and rebel troops out of the pass, officially kicking off the War of Peace.
